So much more than walking…

What a crappy week I had.  Sorry, but crappy is the word for it.

We’re buying a house.  We’re trying to get it financed.  The lender backed out of the deal just days before we were due to close.  So I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to find us a new lender and supply her with all our info.  Stressed hard all day and night last Thursday, MAKING it happen.  Then Friday and Saturday I had the digestive system of a stressed out person.  Sunday I had heat exhaustion and a migraine.

  • I get complex migraines involving visual stuff; flashing lights, blindness.  It’s a real party.

Had a decent night’s sleep last night.  And this morning a guy from the electric company came to the door and told me they were fixing to turn off the electricity for an hour and a half.  This is Texas!  I need my a/c or I cannot exercise.  They turned it back on after only 50 minutes.  I gave the house 30 more minutes to cool off some.

And so today I exercised for the first time in 4 days.

It was horrible.  It was hard.  I hated it.

The lesson that I hope sticks with me from all this is I must exercise 6 days a week, no matter what.

Oh, and I should mention the M&Ms, and the chips and queso that I gave myself permission to devour because of the massive stress.  Can’t afford that.
